ok i was playing halo 3, then my 360 wireless controller turns off randomly. happened to me 5 -6 times now....maybe its the batteries? it keeps saying "controller disconnected," then i have turn it on. what happened to it?
to make sure its the batteries go to the xbox guide menu above there will be a sign of a batterie beside itthere will be like slashes they are four if they were 2 or less then its the batteries hope this helped:D
Sometimes the battery packs are touchy too...if you press on them too hard it bump it it'll come loose and reconnect thus turning the controller off.cecx
That has never happened to me, maybe you broke something on your controller?
The same thing happens to me way too much!!! Very annoying! It seems though with brand new batteries the controller works BETTER but still turns off randomly.
I fixed my own by using a pair of plier's and pulling the springs that make contact with the batteries out some. (Sometimes they can get compressed and not push as much as they should)
This happens to me, as well. My batteries are full, They're duck.taped on so they can't be loose, and it happens randomly, and whenever I use a Gravity Hammer. At first I assumed it was because of the vibration. But it vibrates with the assault rifle, too, but it doesn't turn off then.
i had this same problem, its your battery pack, its just coming lose, if you have another controller switch the batter packs and it should be fine, it worked for me
assuming your battery is not dead and the controller turns off when you press on the pack, this will fix it: (don't press too hard, that might be what causes this) under the battery pack that little 'nub' presses on something that breaks the connection between the two batteries(also possible that the 'nub' pressing is what completes the connection--my pack had a little crack next to the 'nub hole')... if you bridge the contacts on the bottom of the pack, it will never happen again... I used a folded piece of foil--just dropped it down shook it until it was over both contacts and shoved the batteries in. fixed forever and ever. (not really dangerous, but does defeat the purpose of the 'nub' and 'nub hole' action...)
Although batteries would cause this to happen you would have to be a complete idiot not to notice they are on the way out. I have this problem with my black controller, It doesn't matter if they are brand spanking new batteries or half charged ones, it still cuts out.It is a controller issue with the contacts not making much like with the guitar hero les paul guitar problem. Try bending the contacts in the pack and the springs on the controller out a bit, this works for me.
I have a wireless mouse/keyboard from MS, if I play my 360 near them the controller dissconects every 2 minutes. So be careful of other wireless devices near you.

You know whats funny, this thread was made in 2007 then some guy bumped it a year later and then another year later a person bumped it and 1 and a quarter year later you bumped it, I highly doubt that the TC cares about this, he probably got it fixed by now.

I have two controllers. I switched them around and it was worse with the other controller.
Need some help!!! Have brand new batteries in my xbox wireless controller. And it still shuts off!!! I even went as far as wrapping the battery pack in electrical tape and yet still shuts off. Any ideas???
